Who doesn't love a good assist? Flashy passes are one of the most enjoyable parts of the game. My favorite pass is this one my manu back in 09. Saw it live which makes it that much better.

The kobe assist
My favorite was a fisher to odom in preseason
Fish fought for a loose ball on the defensive end. ended up sitting on the floor around the free throw line facing the other teams basket and threw a roughly 75 foot two handed pass over his head to a streaking Odom for the lay in

Manu is one of the flashiest passers all time, I think he is the only one you can expect to do this on a nightly basis
I love this one, I have seen him do this several time where he puts it between a opponents legs and to a running teammate and still get the ball to the perfect spot.

True, many of his regular moves were later emulated - and even turned into "signature moves" - by players like Magic, Hakeem, Curry, Isiah, Rondo, J-Will, Kobe, Manu, so on... but still got shit that was never even duplicated since; the wrist-pass, for one, is just crazy.

Peja steals the ball and then immediately heaves a no look behind the back pass flying like 70 feet and landing an inch from the fingertips of the defender right on the money... may be the most difficult pass/assist i ever seen somebody pull in a game:

Except for that just put on some Maravich, Magic, Bird, Lebron, Manu passing highlights and pick one.... those dudes have accumulated the most of the crazy assists/passes....

nash had a 70+ft lob to marion a few years back and I just spent 20 min trying to find it but I could not..
It's not in the running for GAOAT but I'd like to see it again. Gerd perss
